The Soul of Sustainable Living
Thursday, April 23, 7PM
at Kindred House
We will discuss:
What is sustainability?
Why should we care?
How can it be achieved?
“We’ve waited a long time for someone this accomplished, this schooled in yoga, to set forth its tender philosophy.”
–Andrew Schelling, Professor of Writing and Poetics,
Naropa University
It is difficult to find someone from the West who understands and can articulate the theory behind an Eastern mystical tradition in our language. It is even more difficult to find a modern mystic. In Swami Tripurari we have both: a traditional mystic who can articulate the teachings of an ancient spiritual tradition. To hear him and be in his presence is itself a spiritual experience.
Swami Tripurari has spent his adult life as a Hindu monastic. Awarded the renounced order (sannyasa) in 1975, Swami has studied under numerous spiritual masters, principal of whom are Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and Bhakti Raksaka Sridhara Maharaja of the Gaudiya Vedanta lineage. He has been dubbed by popular writers as “the contemporary voice of Vaishnavism”. Read widely, his books are sold all over the world.
Founder of Sri Caitanya Sanga, author, poet, and spiritual teacher, Swami has written several books, including Rasa: Love Relationships in Transcendence, Ancient Wisdom for Modern Ignorance, Tattva-Sandarbha: Sacred India’s Philosophy of Ecstacy, Joy of Self, Form of Beauty, Bhagavad Gita: Its Feeling and Philosophy and Siksastakam of Sri Caitanya.
“I look forward not only to reading Swami Tripurari’s books, but to
studying them as well.”
–Huston Smith, preeminent religious studies scholar and author of the comparative religious classic, “The World’s Religions”
“If I were to characterize Swami Tripurari’s writing in a word, I would call it ‘pure.’”
–Vyasa Huston, Founder of Sanskrit Today
